Man gets death in Americans' slayings

SAN`A, YEMEN — A Yemeni court sentenced a suspected Al Qaeda militant to death Saturday for killing three U.S. missionaries, his lawyer said.

Abed Abdul Razak Kamel, 30, was sentenced in the Dec. 30 shooting deaths of Kathleen Gariety of Wauwatosa, Wis., Martha Myers of Montgomery, Ala., and William Koehn of Kansas, according to Kamel's lawyer, Mahrous Oqba.

The killings took place at a Southern Baptist-run hospital in Jibla, 125 miles south of San`a.

Kamel told an April 20 court hearing that he coordinated the attack with Ali al-Jarallah, another suspected Muslim extremist accused of gunning down a Yemeni politician two days before the Jibla attack.
